CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 18. \JL E have received accounts here of a ▼ t dreadful rebellion having broke out at Smyrna, in consequence of which a horrid maflacre had taken place, in which upwards of 7000 Scifmatick Greeks and 400 Turks were killed. The origin of the infurreftion is not certainly known 5 but the reason that so many • Greeks were killed was, that the Turks in their fury ran through the streets cutting every one they met to pieces, whether innocent or guilty. Other accounts fay, that in Wallachia, through treachery on the part f>f the Turks against the Scifmatick Greeks, 600 of them, and aimoll as many Turks, have been killed. The general opinion amongst the Tutks is, that the Greeks are attached to Rufiia more by interest than by xeligion. S N Y 4 TIN, September 9. The Ottoman troops continue their march towards Moldavia; they ravage almoff every place they come to in their passage; among the rest they set fire to the city of Gallacz, in the Danube. WARSAW, Oftober it. Letters from Moldavia confirm the news that the Turkilh squadron, which failed from Ocxakow, attempted the beginning of last to make a defeent on the coaftof Rus sia, between the forts of Kinburne and Je- ! mkale, where the Ruffians were surprised, and at firft obliged to retreat; but their camp , being reinforced, they bravely obliged the Turks to retreat, with a conliderable loss, leaving behind them 1000 killed and wounded. VIENNA, Oftober 15. ! The Turks are within fix miles of Bucko wina. In the Ukraine they have taken a transport of 200 waggons of fait, carried off the young drivers, and killed the rest We have accounts, that a body of 500 Turks having presented themselves not long ago before the fortrefs ot Kaminieck, Gen. Wied, the commander of it, sent out a de tachment of dragoons, who killed 125 of them, made 150 prisoners, and difperied tho rest. m H A G U E, Oftober 2J. The Aflembly of the States of Holland and ! Weft Friefland, who have continued fitting Uiice the day before yesterday, have formed a { rerolution to return the Courts of Versailles, London, and Berlin, their thanks for the me diation which they offered, but which had not been accepted, as the differences are fettled. AMSTERDAM, Oftober 25. A commission waited upon His Highnef* the Duke of Brunswick, from the venerable council of this city, relative to the conditions which were to be fulfilled for fatisfying the King of Prussia ; from the 18th to the 20th the matters were arianging, at the end of which time the Duke gave orders for counting the number of ball cartouches that were re turned by the Burghers, who were compelled to lay down their arms. LONDON, November 7. The Sieur de Mas, Charge dcs Affaires of the United States of America, at the Hague, having represented to Mr. Jefferfon, Mini , fter Plenipotentiary from the said states at the Court of France, that he had been obliged to take refuge from the rage of the popu'a' e, in the house of the»French Ambaflador, and the said American Min'fter have complained thereof to the Amhafi'ador of the Republic at Versailles, the fame was transmitted to the Greffier Fagel, who having laid it before the Aflembly of the States General, their High Mightineffies, after the most mature delibe ration and investigation, came to the reso lution of writing to Mr. Adams, the Ame rican Minister at London, acquainting him that the copduft of the Sieur de Mas had been so bad, that they could not fliew him any favor or proteftion, and therefore desired he might be immediately removed. The States of Utrecht, by resolution, have 1 addressed the States General, resetting that > * y THE ' . « they will form an alliance and treaty with England and Pruflia, offenfivfc and defenlivc, with guaran.ee of their federal rights ; and that they inv te any other power to come in to this treaty and alwa ice. It is confidently laid that an alliance, of fenfive dcfenlive, and commercial, will be fpeedJy entered into between Great-Britain, Ruflia, Ho land, Prussia, and America. By a gentleman who arrived yctterday from France, we are aliused that the difconteut of the people was never so great and general as at present , and they gave vent to their cla mour with a fieedom th-t very nearly ap proaches licentiousness. The abandoning jof the Dutch they confider as a mark of humili ation and infamy to which then monarchy was never before reduced, and which a fu ture series ot success and viftories, however fpleudid, can never obliterate from their an nals. The license of speech which is used in all the places of public reiorc, agiinft the King and his minifte s, equals any thing of the kind ever known in England.
